(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately gotten no
attention yet.)

I'm not quite sure what bug you're seeing here.  If you `M-x
serial-term', you end up with a buffer in `term-mode', which is a
mode where mane normal Emacs editing commands are disabled.  For
instance, `C-x C-w' doesn't work.

So unless I'm misreading you, there's no bug here, and I'm closing this
bug report.  If there's a bug here that I'm not seeing, please reopen
this bug report.
